Life can feel overwhelming at times. You may be struggling with anxiety, stress, low mood, or simply feeling stuck and unsure about how to move forward. Counselling offers a confidential, supportive space to talk openly about what you are experiencing and to begin making sense of it.

I provide professional counselling in Peterborough for adults who are finding things difficult and want support in understanding themselves better, managing emotions, and finding steadier ways of coping. People come to counselling for many different reasons — sometimes because of a specific issue, and sometimes because something just doesn’t feel right anymore.

You do not need to be in crisis to benefit from counselling. Many people come because they want clarity, emotional relief, or a space where they can speak freely without judgement.

Who counselling can help

Counselling can support people experiencing a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. Some of the common reasons people seek counselling include:

• Ongoing stress or feeling constantly under pressure

• Anxiety, worry, or feeling on edge much of the time

• Low mood or depression

• Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted

• Relationship difficulties or problems with boundaries

• Loss, change, or uncertainty about the future

Counselling is not about being told what to do. It is about having the space to explore what is happening for you, at your own pace, and finding ways to understand and respond to your experiences more compassionately.

How counselling works

Counselling sessions last 50 minutes and take place in a confidential, supportive setting. Sessions provide time to talk openly about your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without pressure or expectation.

In the first session, we will look at what has brought you to counselling and what you hope to gain from it. There is no requirement to share anything before you are ready — the pace is guided by you.

Some people attend counselling short-term to focus on a specific issue, while others find longer-term work helpful for deeper exploration and understanding. We can regularly review how counselling is working for you and adjust as needed.

My approach to counselling

My approach is thoughtful, collaborative, and grounded. I aim to create a space where you feel listened to, understood, and respected. Rather than focusing on labels or quick fixes, counselling explores how your experiences have shaped the way you think, feel, and relate to others.

I work in a way that recognises how past experiences, stress, and emotional patterns can affect the present. Together, we can begin to understand these patterns and develop more supportive ways of responding to yourself and your situation.

Counselling is not about changing who you are — it is about helping you feel more secure, aware, and able to navigate life with greater confidence and self-understanding.

Why choose counselling in Peterborough

Choosing a local counsellor can make counselling feel more accessible and grounded. I offer counselling in Peterborough and work with people from the local area and surrounding communities.

For many people, having support close to home provides a sense of familiarity and continuity. Whether you are dealing with ongoing stress, emotional difficulties, or a period of transition, local counselling can offer consistent support during challenging times.
